  • Patent number: 10236584
    Abstract: An antenna is connected to a first end of a high-frequency transmission line, and a connector is connected to a second end of the high-frequency transmission line. A characteristic impedance of a microstrip line is higher than characteristic impedances of first and second strip lines, and a characteristic impedance of a coplanar line is higher than a characteristic impedance of the second strip line. Thus, at a certain frequency, a standing wave develops in which the position of the microstrip line and the position of the coplanar line are maximum voltage points and three-quarter-wavelength resonance is a fundamental wave mode. Thus, the cutoff frequency of the high-frequency transmission line is high, and an insertion loss of a signal is significantly reduced to be low over a wide band.

  • Patent number: 9869383
    Abstract: A reduction gear of the present invention is compact and light and can be used for tire portions of an apparatus for travelling, etc. Each of outer and inner pins is formed by a rolling bearing. The reduction gear includes block-shaped lubricating members which supply a lubricant to the outer rings of the outer pins to thereby lubricate them, and a ring-shaped lubricating member which supplies the lubricant to the outer rings of the inner pins to thereby lubricate them. The lubricant can be supplied to a pair of cycloid gears through the outer pins and the inner pins for lubrication. Since the cycloid gears, the outer pins, and the inner pins are lubricated by the lubricating members, the reduction gear can enhance its durability, reduce the friction between components to thereby lower the frictional resistance, and realize a light and compact structure.

  • Publication number: 20180013056
    Abstract: In a piezoelectric element, internal stress generated in an inactive portion at the time of sintering when a piezoelectric element is fabricated or stress applied from the outside to the inactive portion is absorbed by a recess of a lower surface of a first through hole conductor and a recess of an upper surface of a second through hole conductor. Accordingly, for example, deformation, rupture, or the like of the through hole conductor is prevented, and conduction failure or disconnection of an electrode layer or a through hole conductor is prevented. Further, in the inactive portion, since a protrusion of the piezoelectric layer enters the recess of the through hole conductor, a holding force of the piezoelectric layer with respect to the through hole conductor increases, and deformation of the through hole conductor is prevented or obstructed.
